A day at the beach.

By -
Well, not really, but a day at the pool!!! Autumn is fearless Sean! She would jump right into the pool with no one there to catch her. You really have to watch her like a hawk around the water. The whole time in the water, she fought me and Travis to let go of her, even if the water was over her head. I will be so glad when she learns to swim. I think when you get home, you should take her to swim like a fish classes. I think that would be a great father-daughter activity!!

Getting ready
Autumn being impatient, waiting to get in the water.

Can we go yet
Can we go now?

Who is whiter?
Who wins the whitest baby contest? I don't know, they are both blinding me!!!

Dylan practicing swimming
Dylan and Travis- Dylan was practicing what he learned at swim like a fish. Paddling, kicking and blowing bubbles. I was pretty impressed with how he is doing after only a few lessons.

Kisses over the wall
Dylan giving Autumn kisses over the wall.

Fearless
A little blurry, but Autumn jumping.

grouchy
Autumn likes to walk in the water by herself- she makes my heart pound the entire time we are at the pool. She is so dangerous!!!

All by herself
She walked out of the kiddie side of the pool, went over to the stairs and proceeded to go into the deeper (3-4 foot) section of the pool!!! She cried when I told her it was time to go home, but she was shivering and turning blue.

That was our day in a nutshell. I love you and miss you.

Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

56 days without you.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm
